Statement made on 05 November 2009 by Senator Grant Mitchell

Hon. Grant Mitchell:

Honourable senators, Minister Prentice recently lamented the TD report on climate change action by underlining that taking such action would have certain costs to our economic growth. His overall message was encouraging because he said that we do not have to experience these costs if we take action on climate change in some kind of an orderly way.

For him to make such a definitive argument would imply that he must know what that orderly way is and that he must have an orderly plan. Can the leader tell the house what that plan is, when we will see it, and when her government will get started?
